This is why everyone on Twitter is going mad about the word ‘coconut’

Olivia Hayes

Ah, interesting…

If you’ve been on Twitter over the past few days then you will definitely have seen the word ‘coconut’ on your timeline.

There are tweets about it, memes about it and even gifs about it.

If you haven’t copped already, it’s all to do with sex. You might think it’s just one of those trends on Twitter that will come and go, but you’re wrong – it’s actually a way for both you and your partner to get more pleasure out of a woman being on top.

For some couples, it’s a go-to position, but for others it can feel really awkward.

And that’s why ‘coconut’ is here to help.

Good Vibrations’ resident sexologist, Carol Queen, PhD, told Cosmopolitan that there’s a certain level of motion that will make it easier for you to reach that big, fat, juicy O.

“The more motion you work into on-top intercourse, the more complexity you stimulate for yourself and your partner,” she said, while adding, “having a word to spell might take your attention away from less sexy feelings like, ‘I’m not sure what to do’ or ‘I feel exposed and nervous’.”

You also may think that ‘coconut’ is the magic word, but you can actually use any word you fancy.

Carol explained: “Any fairly long word will involve plenty of hip movement, changes in direction, and round and up-and-down movements to stimulate a lot of pleasure. Even just the letter ‘Z’ has three changes of direction. So if you find a word you like better—go for it.”

And now you know.
